As winter’s icy touch fades and the warmth of spring begins to bloom, the Alps transform into a spectacle of breathtaking beauty.
Pristine slopes still dusted with snow merge seamlessly with lush meadows teeming with life.
This is more than a season; it’s an opportunity to experience the Alps at their finest.
Whether you’re seeking a second home residence, an alpine retreat, or a high-yield rental investment, the Alps offer unmatched possibilities for those with a taste for luxury.
We offer exclusive access to the most prestigious chalets, villas and apartments within Europe’s finest resorts with a collection of properties that showcase the stunning living available in the Alps.
Skiing in Spring
While many believe the skiing season ends by February, the well-informed traveller knows better. Elevated resorts like Crans-Montana in Switzerland remain gracefully dusted with snow well into mid-April.
There’s something remarkable about skiing down near-empty slopes, basking in the warmth of the sun. With fewer visitors, the experience feels more refined and more personal.
Spring Skiing Tips:
- Prolonged Ski Season: Slopes remain in fantastic condition well into April.
- Effortless Access: Ski-in/ski-out properties offer ease of access.
- Après-Ski Indulgence: Fine dining, soothing spas, and grand fireplaces make the perfect après ski activity.
Scenic Hiking Trails & Blooming Beauty
As the snow recedes, the Alps reveal an intricate network of trails and paths. Hikes around Champéry, in the picturesque Portes du Soleil region, offer stunning views framed by blossoming wildflowers and the gentle sounds of nature coming back to life.
Properties in the village offer the perfect base for exploring some of the most stunning trails in the region with stunning views of the mountains above and valleys below.
Even leisurely walks become memorable experiences here. And for those who prefer more challenging hikes, hiring a local guide ensures you uncover hidden gems and scenic paths not known to many.
Alpine Hiking Tips:
- Stay Informed: Always check trail conditions with locals before heading out.
- Guided Adventures: Discover exclusive routes with experienced local guides.
- Wildlife Encounters: Spotting marmots, ibex, and rare birds is part of the magic.
